Sussex Estate Great House, Lime Hall, St. Ann

A stately English manor that exudes period charm while retaining essential features for modern living. Sussex Estate Great House dates to the 18th century, originally established as a pimento estate. Built in the Jamaica Georgian architectural style, the main residence preserves many classic Georgian Era characteristics, presenting a timeless, elegant presence on the landscape.

The main house offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms, complemented by a separate garden cottage with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Together the residences sit on a primary parcel of 15 acres at approximately 875 feet above sea level, located in Lime Hall, south of St. Ann’s Bay. An additional 124 acres is included with the property; this adjoining acreage features a stream that supplies water to the estate via a Hydro RAM pump and is approved for subdivision into twenty-one 5-acre homestead lots.

The estate occupies a central position along the North Coast and commands an awe-inspiring, approximately 180 degree view encompassing both mountain and ocean panoramas. The site includes terraced gardens that descend from the front verandah to an expansive pool deck, a tennis court, and a traditional pimento bar-be-que area. Given the setting and views, development potential is significant, with high-end country villas or eco-villas cited as likely highest and best uses.

Sussex Estate also carries historical distinction, having been home to notable figures in aristocratic circles, including Lord Brownlow, a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II and former advisor to the Duke of Windsor. Construction details include finished concrete siding and ceramic tile flooring in many areas. The combined living area for the main residence is approximately 6,000 square feet. Water is supplied by on-site systems and parking is open.
